SASH-CORD FASTENER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 247,027, datedSeptember 13, 1881.

Application filed July 7, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, THOMAS P. DUNNE and PAULBATH, both of the city, county, and State of New York, have inventedanImproved Sash-Oord Fastener, of which the following is a specification.

The object of our invention is to provide a new and improved device for'fastenin g a sash cord or chain to the sash in such a manner that itcan be attached or detached very rapidly and conveniently withoutremoving the parting-strip or stop-bead.

The invention consists in a flanged and ribbed sleeve, through which thelower end of the sash-cord is passed, the strands of the cord beingseparated and turned down on the outside of these ribs, and held thereonby a screw-ca p, which is passed over these ribs and is screwed into thelower end of an angular inclined aperture passing from the outer edge tothe inner surface of the side rail of the sash, through which angularaperture the cord passes. If asash-chain is to be held, the short sleeveis provided at its inner end with two prongs, between which the chain ispassed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is alongitudinal sectionalelevation of an end rail of a sash provided with our improved device forfastening or holding a sash-chain to the sash. Fig. 2 is a diagonalcross-sectional view of the same on line at at, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is alongitudinal sectional elevation of an end rail of a sash provided withour improved device for fastening or holding a sash-cord to the sash.Fig. 4 is a diagonal cross-sectional view of the same on the line y y,Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the screw-cap. Fig. 6 is a sideelevation of the short sleeve provided with the prongs.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A hole, A, is bored in the side rail, B, of a hash from the outer edgeof the same diagonally downward, and a hole, 0, is bored into the innersurface of the end rai],D, in such a manner that it meets the lower endof the diagonal hole A. The lower end of the sashcord D is passeddownward through the holes A and O and through a short sleeve, E, with aflange, F, at the inner end, and external ribs G projecting at rightangles thereto. The strands H of the cord D are separated, and are bentand turned down on the ribs G in such a manner that they are between theribs G. A cap, J, with a threaded flange, K, and a slot, L, is passedover the ribs G, and the ends of the strands H are clamped between thesaid ribs and the cap J, and are'thus fastened to the cylinder. Asharp-edged instrument is passed into the slot L, and the cap is screwedinto the end of the hole 0 in such a manner that the surface of this capwill he flush with the inner surface of the side rail, B. The cord Dpasses through the grooveM in the ordinary manner. Before the lower endof the cord is secured to the sleeve E the cord is out to the properlength. If a sash-chain, N, is used,the sleeve E must be provided withtwo inwardly-projecting prongs, O. The chain N is passed through theapertures A and O, and the sleeve E is passed into the hole 0 in such amanner that the end link, P, of the chain N passes in between the prongs0 0 in such a manner that a joint part or enlarged part of the link P isat each end of the prongs 0, thus holding the chain very firmly. The capJ is passed over the sleeve E and screwed into the end of the aperture Gin the manner described.

Having thus described "our invention, we claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent- 1. In a sash-cord fastening, the combination,with a sash, recessed as shown and described, and with the sash-cord, ofthe sleeve E and the screw-cap K, substantially as and for the purposeset forth.

2. In a sash, the combination, with the sashcord D, of the short sleeveE, provided with ribs G, and a flange, F, and of the cap J, providedwith a threaded flange, K, substantially as herein shown and described,and for the purpose set forth.
